"Hovey," ordered McTee in his voice of thunder, "tell these fellows they must obey my voice from now on." They roared, snatching at this ghost of a hope: "We will! We'll follow Black McTee! Hovey has brought us to hell!" In a moment everyone was in frantic motion. Campbell started for the engine room to see what had caused the stopping of the ship.
Hovey was still being heavily pressed, and was calling on me for more reinforcements. I ordered Crocker, who was now coming up, to send one brigade from his division. McPherson ordered two batteries to be stationed where they nearly enfiladed the enemy's line, and they did good execution.
"Angus, the steel ain't been sharpened that can kill me." "Don't be too confident. Get every word I say. I'm washing my soul out for you. It's Hovey and the little Jap, Kamasura, that you'll have to guard against." "I know 'em both." "D'you mean to say " "No, I didn't make 'em confess, but I saw 'em lookin' at each other. What made you hitch up with swine like them? Was it because of her?" "Yes."
"Look me in the eye, Jerry Hovey, me dear. If you so much as bat the lashes av wan eye in lookin' at me, I'll bust ye in two pieces like a sea biscuit, Jerry, an' I'll eat the biggest half an' throw the rest into the sea. Ar-r-re ye wise?"

"Tonight put him in irons. I'll tend to him tomorrow. Go get the irons. Hovey, take Kamasura below." "Aye, aye, sir," said Hovey, and caught the Jap by the arms behind. That touch quieted Kamasura, and as he was led off, he began to whisper quickly. The moment they were away from the crowd, Hovey said: "Say it slow no, you don't have to beg me to help you. I'll do what I can. You know that.

McPherson was hastening up to join Hovey, but was embarrassed by Hovey's trains occupying the roads. I was still back at Clinton. McPherson sent me word of the situation, and expressed the wish that I was up.

They woke cursing and sad of stomach and head, and to the first orders they responded with cursing; the reply was a sledge-hammer blow from the fist of Hall or Kyle, and while the man lay on the deck, it was explained curtly and forcibly to him that while the Heron was at sea, he would have to obey Bos'n Hovey; but as soon as the ship reached land, each man could be his own master.
Ought they to canvass those sealed in the box, and reject the others? "TIOGA. It appears that the sheriff of Tioga delivered the box containing the ballots to B. Hovey, his special deputy, who set out, was taken sick on his journey, and delivered the box to H. Thompson, his clerk, who delivered it into the secretary's office. "Question. Ought the votes of Tioga to be canvassed?
